October 28, 2018. Ginna Claire Mason is Glinda.

Two things... MKM is an *incredible* storyteller—her Elphaba is so believable. And the final broom thrust cured my depression.

IT"S OFFICIAL: Mary Kate is FINALLY gonna be your next FULLTIME Green Girl on Broadway this March!!!

[cannon]

mkm is so underrated this was one of the smoothest defying gravity’s i’ve heard

[Jewels]

Did anyone else notice MK kissing GC's hand at 6:28 ? 😭 I love their friendship so much

[thenewmmc]

I was at this performance. There was no announcement of it being their last show. I met them both afterwards. I told MK that her performance changed my life, and I told GC that I hoped to see more of her in the future. Thank you for sharing and allowing me to see this again three years later.

Her acting choices and her expressions are just everything, I love that little moment where Ginna Claire gets on the floor next to her. That broom thrust is one of dreams 😍

[chaostroopper]

I am so glad I caught these two when I had they chance. Their stage presence and chemistry is something you have to see for yourself. I was lucky enough to see Ginna Claire again at the Gershwin but let me tell you she did not have the same energy as she did with MK. Thank you for uploading this so many of us can relive the excitement!

Ohoo that was amazing!! Beautifully sung, nothing forced or strident, but bloody powerful. Gorgeous acting in the flying machine. Just look at her take off, gorgeous, making it look so smooth and convincing. The singing throughout the flying sequence was a masterclass in how to do this very difficult part. Wonderful!

[AlwaysKeepingCool]

This is awesome! I didn’t realize a video existed!

the kiss to GC;s hand at 6:29 destroyed me
I'm sobbing so hard. you have no idea. this was the best thing I've heard all week. I started sobbing harder when MKM started flying

[elphbwckd]

As much as I love MKM I adore this conductor. He so good! I can't stop watching him lol

[emmastraub]

I always love how Madame Morrible thinks her speech will break Elphaba but it makes her stronger and more powerful 💚

[harpermartin]

it should be a REQUIREMENT that every new elphaba takes a broom-moving class from Mary Kate Morrissey. The way her movements look so fluid and realistic during the flight scene.... it's actually crazy.

[angellau]

Just watched MKM last night on broadway. She was VERY GOOD! ❤

[HunterHuiet]

Mary Kate is gonna be playing Elphaba full time starting in March

[benschaeffer]

She's going to be the next lead Elphaba on Broadway starting next month in March, 2024. 🎉💚🖤

[elphbwckd]

I always love how the tour lift speed matches the lights. On Broadway the lights go up so much faster than Elphaba and it has always irked me. Like slow the lights or speed up the lift. lol. She sounds incredible. What a great last performance. Would love for her to come back someday. Hopefully on Broadway.

[jesseadriangonzalez]

Wow! So as for stage presence, Donna Vivino is my all time favorite but this performance really made me reconsider!

[andrewdittmar]

Ack, I wish we had a full HQ capture of this show

[ashleyhedrick]

That glockenspiel went fucking hard in the paint that night.
